To Them We Must Pay Homage


Throughout music, the majority of people are looking for the 'new scene' or the new music about to 'blow'
Whether it be guitar-based, or of a more sound-system style approach.

I'm no different
My sister, on the other hand is stuck in a seeming time warp, of early 00's speed and 2-step garage.
I am a bit sad, because I was slightly too young for the garage revolution in the early 2000's that was sourced in the very area I live.

But now, as my musical education is getting better in all things 'urban', and I have started DJ-ing.
I have realised, in my haste, that you should never dismiss the past.
"Dwell on the past and you'll lose and eye, forget the past and you'll lose both eyes."

Because for every musical movement you are wrapped up in, the people that have gone before have curated what you love today.
For grime & dubstep heads, it is absolutely all about the garage scene in the late 90's
because without them,
none of this would be about, or if it was, it certainly wouldn't be anywhere as good/big as it is now.

So to all the garage music heads.
To you we pay homage
